This contention the court overruled, and through Judge Bleckley announced the fol lowing opinion, which is both go*id law, good morals and good sense: “The legal unity of husband and wife has, in Georgia, for most pur poses been dissolved, and a legal duality established. A wife is w. wife,, and not a husband as she was lor- merly. Legislative chemistry has analyzed the conjugal unit, and it is no longer treated as an element, but as a compound. A husband can make a gift to his own wife,.although she lives in the house with him ami attends to her household Unties, a- easily as he can make a present to his neighbor’s wife.

Committee. aug 20-21 THE PA i rKBHOV HRItIK WORKS. Those who have not recently made a visit to this plant cannot appreciate the importance of this industrial en terprise to our city and its value to its enterprising owner. Some two years ago Mr, L. F. Pat terson began the manufacture of brick in what is known as the Parker pasture, and afterwards on the west side of the river, at each of which places tie made a fairly good brick. In the meantime he was engaged in. experimenting with samples of clay from various localities with a view to finding the very best material fw that purpose. These experiments led him to the discovery of an almost inexhaustible source of' clay that turns inn the finest brick manufact ured in any locality south of Atlanta. After sec.uviN^i titles to this valuable deposit, Mr. Patterson formed a partnership with Mr. T. A. Ausley and proceeded to develop a plant commensurate with the demands for first class brick. The formation of this day is somewhat peculiar, being the work of suujessive freshets in the river, backing the in iddy waters from north Georgia up a slough in the swamp and depositing their bur den of fine clay upon the s irfaue. This has been going on for centu ries until a depth ol tin or more lent has been deposited oil an area of thirty-live or forty acres This clay is now turning out a brick that has no pquul in south or middle Georgia and no superior in ’ the stale. Since beginning operations the first of the year, the firm has expended about $12,00(1 in labor-saving machinery, drying sheds, etc., so that, now tlu* plant will lie able to meet the tre mendous demand for its products. The drying sheds cover an extensive Hrort, so that the work of turning out brick is never retarded by any con dition of the weather. A spur track has been built from the Plant .System depot to the kilos to facilitate shipments abroad. Thu plant being located just above the Fair grounds and near the- river uiakes it convenient fur furnishing the home demand as well as that, by boats'up and -lo/.'n the river. Recently Mr. Patterson has pur chased the interest of his partner and will devote his whole lime and energy to the development of this valuable industry. The present c* pacity is a daily output of forty thousand with a pay roll of about thirty hands, which will be increased constantly as Hie growing demand continues. uikd an -n cm viax. Two sa-l deaths occurred at the home of Mr. Alfred Chester near Climax, on Thursday night of last week. Mrs. Chester, an agltd lady and wife of Mr. Chester, had been ill with fever tor some tiinu and Mrs. Mar shall Dollar, her sister, had come to visit her on the above stated night. During the night Mrs. Dollar died very suddenly of heart failure and Mrs. Chester died a few hours later. Trie remains were buried at 0;»en Pond church the following day, a large number of relatives and friends being present. They were both consistent mem bers of the church.
